Animated Pixel Art Character

This Photoshop tutorial will show you how to draw a pixel art character in Photoshop and then animate it in Image Ready.

Step 1.

Start off by creating a new photoshop document, with dimensions of 80x80 and a light blue background. On a new layer make a thin dark blue rectangle at the bottom, name it floor 2, and then make 2 duplicates of it. Use an oval selection to delete the top part of 1 of the duplicates (image b), and then name it floor 1. Make an oval over the other duplicate layer (image c) and then name it floor 3.

a) Floor 2		b) Floor 1		c) Floor 3

Step 2.

Make floor 3 invisible and floor 2 visible and then make a selection like in image a). Make floor 2 invisible and floor 3 visible again, and then delete the side of it. Do the same with the other side (image b). You should now have 2 floor layers (image c).

a)		b)		c)

Step 3.

Make it so that only floor 1 is visible and then go to Part 2 of this Photoshop Tutorial.
